Congratulations Xin Lou, PhD! Xin Lou earned his PhD after conducting research culminating in his dissertation, “48V/1V Voltage Regulator for High-Performance Microprocessors.” He is now a Senior Application Engineer at Silergy. When asked about his education, Xin reflected, “Pursuing my PhD degree at CPES has been an unforgettable journey. Under the guidance of my advisors, Qiang Li and also Fred Lee, I've cultivated a great passion for challenges and the relentless pursuit of excellence. My heartfelt thanks go out to all the faculties, staff, and colleagues at CPES. It's truly an honor to be part of the CPES family.” CPES was fortunate to have Xin’s contributions, not just in research but in leadership. Under his direction as Chair, the 2022 CPES Conference was a tremendous success! https://lnkd.in/e-z_H25p Thank you Xin and best wishes on your future endeavors! #CPES #coupledinductor #dynamicresponse #highpowerdensity #magneticintegration #voltageregulatormodules #VRMs

We're only a month away from the 2024 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo (ECCE) sponsored by both the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). As in past years, CPES researchers will be heavily involved chairing sessions and presenting numerous papers and posters. We'll also have a booth (107) at the Exhibition. CPES Director Rolando Burgos is serving as the 2024 ECCE General Chair. We hope you'll accept his invitation to participate! https://lnkd.in/g5bTNv34 #CPES #powerelectronics #energyconversion

Well done Xingchen Zhao, PhD!
